Lots of info pages on here to help. Its quite a fiddly job but easy enough to DIY if you want to. I did mine, which didn't have the factory prep, took the best part of the day to do and now have a detachable towbar. Good luck

I regularly service mine, even the oil filter underneath the car lol and the pain pollen filter. Recently had cambelt, water pump service at an indy. So, fingers crossed to the next 100k miles................

Well finally hit the 100k miles today. 64 plate Tdi VRS, faultless so far. Well done Skoda.

Thats what I would have thought too. Ill have a think, may just risk it for a biscuit on the hope nowt goes pear shape.

A question please. I am looking to book in for my diesel VRS to get the RacingLine treatment but have been told that any other coding can possibly affect the tune. Has anyone experienced any issues of this kind? Ive changed a few options in the past which i would like to keep. Thanks in advance

Did these ever sell?

Its all good fun this DIY stuff, sometimes wonder of its just quic/easier to get someone else in to do it.

If diesel? You can drop the exhaust from the rubber hangar, then there is enough clearance with a long extension bar. When you come to find the holes, they are covered in little squares in the underbody protection.

Glad you got there in the end 👍

Sent you a PM

Im guessing you mean you are struggling to push the pins into the correct locations? From memory when i did mine it was just fiddly, but with the instructions supplied and a great help on here it all worked out. I will try and find the guides. Kev

I have a 64 vrs tdi, I get approx 515miles to the tank on average based on mainly A road and motorway driving. If I do more town driving the fill up warning comes in a lot earlier and i get to around 450 before filling, although I've never managed to put more than 46 ltrs in.

Hi VrsAnt, I ended up doing my own electrics fitting using the fantastic guides found on here - apologies to the authors, I forget who they were now (I can email you a copy if you PM address) and those supplied with the towbar. The overall install took a bit of time but was achieved on my own do you should be fine. Things to consider are: Is the car suitable (guessing you have a Vrs) as some require additional parts for cooling etc. Are you able to code the install in? I used OBDeleven and again the guides on here. All above is at own risk, has to be said. Hope that helps Kev

Slightly on this topic, I drove a friends Seat Leon FR today, they seem to have 3 jets per side opposed to the Octavias 2 per side. I wondered if the parts are interchangeable?? Anyone know?

Stripping out the inside would be correct if you have no towbar prep installed from factory? I did my own detachable, pics below for reference. All in, correctly coded and working with the vehicle. Hope that helps? Kev
